World Menopause Day is held every year on 18 October.
The International Menopause Society (IMS), a global non-profit founded in 1978, created World Menopause Day in 2009 to raise awareness of menopause and improve the experience of women everywhere.
As the founder, IMS sets the annual theme, commissions and publishes the White Paper, and develops accessible resources to support women, healthcare professionals, and communities worldwide.
We celebrate the many medical advances and the increase in public awareness in recent years, but there’s still much more to be done.
Each year, World Menopause Day shines a spotlight on the challenges facing women during the menopause transition and highlights improvements in research, education, and support.
